Saiga obviously, the SPAS is a range toy.

SPAS 12 is a meme gun for Half Life and Jurassic Park nostalgia le 90's kids. It's a piece of shit. Finicky, heavy, overly complex, but it works in pump action I guess.

Saiga is finicky as well, but you can get them to run reliably. If you want a good Saiga, get one made by Tromix or some other custom shop with a reputation.

Both are horrible choices for "general purpose". If you want a good combat oriented gun, Benelli M4 is the way to go. Mossberg 930, Beretta 1301, Remington Versamax, and probably a few others are good choices and they have tactial models. Vepr are also much better than Saiga in general, although there's less aftermarket. They tend to work better out of the box though. If you want a bird gun, check out the different Benelli models or whatever fancies your eye.

a saiga 12 with an AK conversion is on my short list of fun wants.

pump-action

functionally as fast as semi-auto without the jamming possibilities.

Unironically an Auto 5. I have never had an issue with mine, with any load.

The only people who like the SPAS are the ones who never had to lug one around. My uncle had one he got through various and probably nefarious sources and I'd take it out to kill pest birds and pigs in the sunflower and barley crops.
Once you've got it all bombed up with shells, then carrying about another 40-50 on bandoleers... its definitely got some gravity! Plus over time all those little gas seals, bits of rubber rings and other shit floating around do need to be replaced not infrequently. Then there's the cleaning, which also has to be done frequently and is a complete pain in the arse.

Basically just a good old pump gun, does the same job and much more easy to live with

Your webm answers the question. How many other guns can you say where the first of something and STILL in production? over 100 years of work and still going stroke.
